My questions are:

1. Why is this meeting not available on Zoom given that Big Sur and interested citizens are cut off from the meeting location unless they get in line at 7 am? Other members of the Big Sur Community are cut off by 3 landslides to the south that would require a 5 hour one-way trip to Monterey? Why no zoom option?
2. Why is the meeting at the State Parks since it does not involved the State Parks nor any of their employees but only Caltrans employees from a few doors down?
3. Why is Janet Hardisty the only public non-employee member of the working group?
4. Why is the working group composed of five Caltrans employees, one county employee, and one member of the public? (I stand corrected. Two of these people are outside engineers, not members of the CT team.)
5. Why was this notice only sent out 48 hours in advance, given all the logistical issues of attendance for any parties interested?
